| Description: | The Yorkville Highlands are the mountain pass traversed between the north end of Alexander Valley and the west end of Anderson Valley. Our small block of Game Trail Cabernet is perched looking south from 1400 feet elevation upon that ridge. Coastal in uence and large diurnal swings create small berries, thick skins, deep pigmentation, and tons of structure. Clone 6 Cabernet sets sparingly with berries the size of blueberries and no fruit to fruit contact, so it is cane pruned and left to hang as many clusters as possible. It is always our latest pick of the year and 2017 was no exception. Though skies had stayed clear and without smoke in Yorkville, we were still concerned and tested the wine after a year in barrel and were thrilled that the clean chemistry matched our experience tasting the wine. We nd a purity in this wine: more acid and fore-mouth focused than other Cabernet, it is tart, bright, perfumed and refreshing. |
